HEL 8 oz Norse Goddess and Jotunn of the Underworld and the Dead Offering Ritual Candle With Obsidian and Wormwood - Witch Candles Pagan

HEL - Norse Jötunn and Goddess, Queen of the Underworld Hel and the Dead

This fragrance was created with Hel, the Norse goddess of the underworld and death, in mind. Its alluring and dark scent features black frankincense, warm myrrh, deep sandalwood, exotic storax (styrax), and a blend of warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. Adorned with black obsidian tumbled gemstones and wormwood grown in our own garden, it makes for the perfect offering to Hel. You'll love how this fragrance pleases both you and the goddess Hel.

Hand-poured into an 8 oz round gold and black candle tin with a decorative Hel lid. Additionally, we offer this fragrance in other forms, such as our incense, body spray, roll-in perfume, and 16 oz candles. You can find these listings in our shop as well.

In Norse mythology, Hel Lokidottir is known as Hela and is regarded as a half-goddess and jötunn, or giant. She is the daughter of Loki and Angrboda and has two siblings, Fenrir and Jörmungandr. Hel is the queen of the realm of the dead and is responsible for overseeing those who passed away peacefully from old age or illness, as well as children and women who die during childbirth. She is a compassionate guide for those who do not choose the path of violence and war, leading them through the circle of death to rebirth.

Hela makes her home in Helheim, the lowest world located at the roots of the World Tree. She is known to take in and care for all souls who pass away in a "straw death" - a death that is not in physical combat. In the Northern Tradition, Death is not considered evil but rather a natural part of the cycle of life. Hela is depicted as half dead and half alive, with a face that is both beautiful and horrific in form. She does not shy away from the true nature of death and decay, seeing it as sacred, just like any other part of life.

Hela's followers speak of her great transpersonal compassion and believe that she never speaks a lie. She is typically shown as one part beautiful woman and one part skeleton or rotting corpse. Her sacred colors are black and white, and her sacred plants include wormwood, Elder trees, rue, belladonna, and Hellebore, among others. The name Hel means "hidden," referencing the fact that the souls of the dead are invisible to the living.

✨Ozark Moons candles and wax melts are HAND-POURED with LOVE AND POSITIVE ENERGY and shipped directly from the OZARKS of Missouri in the heart of The United States✨

✨Each of our products is crafted individually in our home studio in our tiny home in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri and made to order using a unique custom blend of eco-friendly waxes – allowing for the maximum fragrance load possible and providing a long-lasting scent; that is earth (and lung) friendly!✨

Candle Instructions: Always keep wick trimmed back to under 1/4" (6.35mm) at all times, before and during burning. Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time. Discontinue use when the overall wax level falls to 1/4" (6mm) or less in the bottom of the container. Caution - the container can get scalding. Please burn on heatproof safe surfaces away from children and pets. Do not allow melted wax to contact skin as burns may occur.

DURING WARMER MONTHS, we can't guarantee that USPS will deliver your candles before they melt slightly. If this occurs, try putting the candle into your refrigerator for a few minutes before opening or using your wax melts or candle. If a lot melts or you have any other issues, please don't hesitate to contact us through messages with a photo of the item, and we will absolutely make it right with you!

✨ Each candle and wax melt we make is individually handmade to order when your order is placed, therefore each is a work of art and may not look exactly like the product photos, but it will still have the same perfect intent for the deity, sabbat, or zodiac sign of your choice. Botanicals may vary by availability but will still be appropriate for the candle or wax melt of your choice. Charms received will vary.

✨ Due to using a blend of all-natural coconut and soy wax, variations in the look and texture of the wax will vary from wax melt to wax melt. These differences are not considered defects, nor will they affect how your wax melts.
